Ridlculing an Inventor.

An inventor must run the gauntlet
of criticism and ridicule before he gains
for his invention the confidence of the
public. 1t is annoying to the inventor,
but it is beneficial to the community,
for it secures the survival of the fittest.
George Stephenson used to speak
with Indignation of how the "Parlia-
ment men, badgered and baffled him
with their book learning, wheu he pro-
posed to build a railroad from Liver
pool to Manchester.
The smoke from the engine, said
these book learned men, will kill all
the birds, and the sparks Will set fire
to fields and houses. The passengers
will be made sea-sick; the noise will
frighten away the game, and thousands
Of coachmen and inn-keepers will be
thrown out of employment.
The fast mail il-coaches were driven at
the rate of ten miles an hour. When
Stephenson asserted that his steam
coaches would attain to much more
rapid rate of speed, he was laugh ed at
anu uOOlSu dS q IIbChT VI d1nSu Sh-
thusiast.
You must not claim 3 speed of over
fifteen miles an hour" said the nervous
counsel of the promoters of the railroad
to Stephenson, just as he was about to
appear before parliamentary com
mittee.
A member of the committee, opposed
to the proposed railroad, thought he
could make the simple hearted engineer
assert an absurdity that would kill the
project
swell, Mr.. stephenson," he said,
perhaps you e7ald go seventeen miles
an hour?
"Yes."
Perhaps twenty miles an hour ?"
Certainly"
Twenty-Five, / dare say. You do
not think it impossible" 2"
Not at all impossible"
Dangerous, thought"
Certainly not"
Now tell me, Mr.. Stephenson, viii
you say that you can go thirty miles an
hourg
Certainly"
The fish was hooked to an absurdity.
so every member of the COMMITTEES
thought; and they all leaned back in
their chairs and roared with laughter.
Their sons now ride sixty miles in
sixty minutes.

the cold when Il bites too sharp
ly, or run to it as found in Northern
mountains, when it suits them to do so.
And the hegira Of this class will soon
begin. II is they who have turned
Florida into blossoming garden OF
tropical fruits, and who have given a
strong impulse to general travel and
settlement in that quarter. There is a
fascination about that sun-land which
fleets all classes; and it is we'll. The
nth did its best for nehFly century
to keep people outside its borders; it
asked for an entire sacrifice OF inde-
pendence and manhood as the price of
admission; but all is changed now.
Here and there the old anti bellum
bitterness is manifested, but as rule
the South welcomes immigration and
capital. 1t is yet full of unaathered
riches, and we trust that people will go
there in increasing numbers until the
entire wilderness is made to blossom.
The pilgrims in search of health or
recreation lead the way. They will
bask in the sun, float upon sylvan
streams, and quarrel with the hotels;
but after tnem will follow the sturdy
sons of toll who will level the forests,
cultivate the soil, explore the mines,
and build up the country with new
race of the lovers Of liberty.

The Law to Protect Oyster Planting.

From the statement given Last week it would
seem that Nj. c. ii. Burl, i'll the matter Of hi, an;
pcation to the Legislature with regard to the cul-
vaton of oysters in Belfast BAY had been unjust
ly treated by the Committee on Fisheries and
Game This does not appear to have been tile
case. Mr.. Bard asked for monopoly of the bust
ness for twenty five years, and the use Of waters
belonging to private landowners, which of course
the Legislature could not and would not grant and
this, together with the fact that the statutes al
ready afford projections caused the committee to
vote ''leave TO withdraw Chap. 40, Sec -, r.
s.. reads.
Any inhahitant of the State, with the consent of
the adjacent riparian proplictors, may plant ovs
tiers below low water mark IN any naVig gable Wa

The Railroad Question at Augusta.

Belfast is deeply interested in the extension
of the Sebasticook and Moo>efead Railroad
from IIartland to the Lake, and when it WAS
learned that Bangor was opposing thi> road, it
was an easy matter to secure a delegation Of
leading and representative citizens to 90 to
Augusta for tie purpose of aiding the enter
prise. Accordingly about Twenty-Five of our
citizens took the morning train on Thursday
last for the State Capital. On arrival there it
was learned that the hearing in the MonSon
matter had been called. contrary to the pub
li>hed notice, on tht day b, fore. and tia; Ban

Capital Punishment and the Game Laws.

Representative Wilson, of this city, was at home
the first of the week, returning to Augusta yestcr
day morning. Mr.. Wilson thinks there is a mark.
ed change of sentiment with regard to capital pun
ishment and looks for the repeal of the present
law. The change he believes to be due, in part at
least, to the recent convictions of women and the
repugnance of people generally to their execution
on the scafOld. He an advocate of capital
punishment but has reason to change his
views since his services as coroner brought him in
closer relation to the law.
Mr.. Wilson is fully imbued with the idea that our
fish and game should be protected, and advocates
more liberal appropriations for this purpose, that
wardens may be better compensated. He spoke of
the money brought to Bangor by the salmon fishing
at that place showing the value of our hunting
and fishing grounds to the State at large by attract
ing spOrtsmen from abroad. The Committee On,
Fisheries and Game had promptly granted an OK
tension Of the limits the Pcnobscot within which
nets not allowed, to afford more room for those
who fish for salmon with Il fly. He thought the
committee would also extend the close time in
Moosehead Lake to protect the fish at the time
when the ice goes out. The fish then seek the
shOal water near the shore and are taken in great
quantities by bait fishermen.

Mr. Parks returned on Monday but Mr.. Kimlall
Will remain to make survey of the streets to as
certain the exact amount of pipe needed. While
the source of the water supply is not known Mayor
Baker thinks il will be from some point on Little
River either at the site of the present dam above
the bridge, at Perkins Mills. A dam twenty five
feet high from the river bed, above Little river
bridge win flow large pond, and the water fall
will furnish the required power for pumping pur-
poses nine months in the year. Perkins Mills will
be one mile nearer, but the pond will not be SO
large as at the former place. Both steam and wa
ter power will be used for pumping and an iron
stand pipe will give the elevation and power to the
hydrants. The water of Little river is pure, the
